Frequently Asked Questions
Under Nevada law (NRS 678B.350), adults 21 and older may legally possess: up to 1 ounce of usable cannabis, up to 3.5 grams of cannabis concentrate, and cannabis-infused products containing up to 1 ounce equivalent. Possession above these limits is a civil penalty under 1 ounce, and a criminal offense above legal limits. Cannabis cannot be consumed in public, in vehicles, or in any area where tobacco smoking is prohibited. West Central Las Vegas residents can purchase from licensed dispensaries only. A West Central Las Vegas cannabis attorney can advise on compliance.
Nevada cannabis dispensary licenses are issued by the Cannabis Compliance Board (CCB) under NRS 678B. The process involves: application to the CCB with financial disclosures and background investigation, local government approval (Clark County or Las Vegas city permit), compliance with zoning requirements (setbacks from schools, churches, parks), and security and inventory tracking system requirements. Las Vegas licenses are among the most competitive in the state. A West Central Las Vegas cannabis law attorney can guide you through the application process and compliance requirements.
Yes — Nevada law under NRS 484C.110 makes it illegal to drive with 2 nanograms or more of THC per milliliter of blood. Unlike alcohol, THC can remain detectable in blood for days after use, even when impairment has subsided. This means a legally compliant cannabis user can test positive for DUI THC well after any actual impairment. A West Central Las Vegas DUI/cannabis attorney can challenge the blood testing procedures, the correlation between THC levels and impairment, and the legality of the blood draw.
Nevada law under NRS 613.333 prohibits most employers from discriminating against employees based solely on a positive cannabis test, with important exceptions: safety-sensitive positions, federal contractors, federally regulated industries (transportation, aviation), and employers receiving federal funding. West Central Las Vegas employers in gaming, healthcare, transportation, and construction may still enforce zero-tolerance drug policies. A West Central Las Vegas employment/cannabis attorney can advise on whether your termination violated Nevada's protections.
